"I honestly don't know where to go from here. Does anyone else?"

[GiglameshDespair]

We'll have to take one of the side passages we've been passing. I imagine they'd be in worse shape than this.

[sjm9876]

 ’Aye, that’s old Dwarven. It stands for gundras, not that they get them this far north. The gundras were fearsome creatures, rock worms that never stopped growing. The Drow used them to guard great treasures, and the strongest Orc tribes rode them into battle through the sands. The Dwarves used them as a measure of distance.’
 Gunnar shakes his head almost in disbelief, muttering ’Dwarves,’ before continuing,
 ’A gundra could chew through that slide easily, but they haven’t been seen since the golden age began. Then again, they say true dragons are back, so who knows.’
 He takes a step back, looking up and down the rock slide.
 ’Failing a gundra, however, I’m inclined to agree with the girl. Are we agreed?’

[IcyTea31]

"Unless we have any other choices, agreed."

[kj1225]

"I don't have a gundra in my pants so I'm going to agree as well."
Anthony pauses as a queer look crosses his face.
"Uh... bad choice of words."

[Varee]

Fia just stay quiet, looking at the geoup.

 Gunnar gives a brief disapproving glance at Anthony before stepping back to look at the nearest side passage. It is similar to that which the group entered through, blocked by a near identical door of rusted bars. However, the door swings open at a touch from Gunnar, in absolute silence. Gunnar himself stands on the threshold, unsure as to whether to continue.

[kj1225]

Anthony shrugs and goes to continue as well.

[IcyTea31]

"Well oiled, hum? That means somebody lives here. Friend or foe, what do you think?"

[sjm9876]

 ’Couldn’t tell you.’
 Gunnar steps into the corridor, walking on in silence. It continues for abotu a minute before the path ahead is blocked by a solid stone door.

[IcyTea31]

Chance stops to listen if anything is behind the door.

[GiglameshDespair]

"I don't suppose the dwarves would still he in residence..."

[kj1225]

Anthony shrugs.
"If there's anything a dwarf is it would be stubborn enough to live here."

[sjm9876]

Putting her ear to the door, Chance hears some peculiar sounds. Perhaps partly due to the muffling of the stone, she doesn't realise what they are at first, but a moment later she identifies the sound of waves and seabirds.

[GiglameshDespair]

"Well? What do you hear?"
